Japan's foreign & security policy options

Edición de la obra Old issues, new responses

Old Issues, New Responses recognizes the need for Japan to articulate clearly its position on its foreign and security policy options at the turn of the century. In this volume of six essays, Japanese scholars present new policy proposals in response to perennial concerns in Japan's foreign and security policy environment. The challenges for Japanese policymakers that are discussed here include political relations with China, Japan's policy on plutonium, humanitarian assistance for refugees, regime transitions in China and North Korea, theater missile defense systems vis-a-vis China, and Japan-Iran relations against the backdrop of the Japan-U.S. alliance.
